The dictatorial leader of North Korea died, apparently of a heart attack while on a train, on Sunday. His brutal rule was, in part epitomised by the contrast between the poverty felt by his people and his life of luxury.

Which is why we were so surprised to see this picture of him, taken this month, visiting a supermarket. Neither him or his many followers look particularly happy about the trip, perhaps they've just spotted the checkout queue... Give us your ideas for a caption in the comment section below.
